Overall: @Maile66: great work on this article, everything seems to check out! Prose of appropriate length, 0.0% copyright violation. I wish there was more documentation for the claimed world record throw at the Drake Relays fact, because that aspect is really interesting. Regardless, great work!

Thanks, and since you asked, I just added the April 27, 1929 New Yotk Times source that very clearly proclaims it a world's record.— Maile (talk) 12:29, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
That's awesome! I was totally curious and it wasn't a prerequisite for my approval of the DYK but I definitely appreciate the gesture and the additional source on such an interesting man! Ornithoptera (talk) 20:51, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
